"One of my goals when I got here was to re-bond this city with this baseball team and to be a group of men who do that collectively. So it's definitely disappointing, especially when we were able to get to a certain point of the year where we were talking playoffs," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

The Reds struck first with two runs in the third.

Following back-to-back singles by Brandon Phillips and Wilson Valdez, Joey Votto brought Phillips home with a ground-rule double to left field and Valdez scored on a Todd Frazier groundout.

Jones' blast in the home half tied the game at 2-2, and the Pirates went ahead with a run in the fifth on Andrew McCutchen's RBI single to left-center field.
